218: There’s a Ball of Mold In My Lungs (pt. 1) The Severity, The Treatment, How Long I’ve Had it

I’ve heard of people that did hair for years or had pets for years ended up having a ball of hair in their lungs. 😮

Thank you for sharing your story! I believe it can help someone else. I understand. I think I have mold built up inside me too. Just haven't got tested. Saving money up so I can get tested. My parents have mold inside their house too. I know for sure I have mold inside me. Also I was sick alot when I was little. My mom died from a rare aggressive cancer. I trying to get my health back. I learn so much from your podcast! I made one of your bread recipe. Love it! You will get through this! ❤ Praying for you! 🙏

fascinating. I was diagnosed with Aspergillosis nearly 20y ago by Bharat Gopal, MD (Christie Clinic, Champaign IL). He said I had a fungal mass in my upper right pulmonary lobe that was as large as his fist. 
     Then he said the standard treatment – surgery – had a 95% chance of killing me! And the anti-fungals would damage my liver.
    So I went a different route, and I believe I've lived longer than *any* other U.S. Aspergillosis patient to date.
     I also believe that due to global climate change, we're in a fungal bloom – and fungal infections of the lungs is way under-diagnosed! (I now have Coccidioides on top of Aspergillus in my lungs. 💀)
     Btw, I too believe in spiritual intervention – praying for you. 🖖

So random this popped up in my suggestion. I am going to get mold paint for the bathroom.

When I feel unwell, I ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Luke, and Saint Raphael to pray for me.
Praying you get well soon & avoid surgery 🙏🕊
